Please provide documentation for use with yaml pipelines

Hi,

Would it be possible to document how to use this task in a yaml pipeline?

Thanks.

Currently it uses the Id's of the release views/ packages and feeds. Easiest way now, is to create a designer pipeline, add the task, put in the settings, and then view the YAML and copy it.. The task cannot process the names and convert it to ID's yet..

Looks something like this

steps:
- task: rvo.vsts-promotepackage-task.vsts-promotepackage-task.rvo-vsts-promotepackage-task@1
  displayName: 'Promote package to Release View'
  inputs:
    feed: '66487500-538f-40fe-ac83-6a4789e669b1'
    definition: '338e2210-c4cb-4128-bf7c-6a8114a98a47'
    version: 1.2.0
    releaseView: '0ef59186-c5e9-40ac-8abc-911edabcbb1e'

Hi,

Thanks @renevanosnabrugge for your reply. It does seem that the task can process names in some circumstances. This works for me:

- task: rvo.vsts-promotepackage-task.vsts-promotepackage-task.rvo-vsts-promotepackage-task@3
  displayName: 'Promote package to Release View'
  inputs:
    feed:  MyNuget
    releaseView: PreRelease
    inputType: nameVersion
    packageIds: $(PackageName)
    version: $(PreReleaseVersion)

I had some success with YAML pipelines, after a fair amount of trial and error. Here's what I used:

      - task: rvo.vsts-promotepackage-task.vsts-promotepackage-task.rvo-vsts-promotepackage-task@3
        displayName: 'Promote package'
        inputs:
          feed: <my organization feed name, same value as publishVstsFeed in NuGetCommand@2 push>
          releaseView: ${{ parameters.artifactView }}
          inputType: packageFiles
          packageIds: <my package name>
          packagesDirectory: $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)
